Google revealed several updates related to the coronavirus pandemic this past weekend.
Product management director, search Emily Moxley said in a blog post that since the beginning of 2020, searches for coronavirus and Covid-19 have spiked to the point where they surpassed common search topics such as weather and news.
Google is refining the experience when people search for Covid-19, including links to resources from national and local health authorities, as well as a carousel of Twitter accounts from local civic organizations and health authorities, in order to surface the most recent information and resources when they become available.
Modules will also be added containing statistics about the spread of the disease and maps displaying its prevalence in countries worldwide.
